To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: There have been numerous protests in your paper lately about the “big hats,” “going out between the acts,” and so on in the theaters, and I think now {s the time for me to make my little “kick.” I have yet to experience the pleasure of seeing a Washington theater audience keep their seats until the performance is over. I have noticed (particularly when operas have been presented) that about five of ten minutes before the close of the last act a number of people begin a noisy rush for the doors, which is not only annoying to the rest of the audience,but must be very trying to the artists on the stage, who must naturally infer that their work is not very well appreciated. I was one of the crowd that listened to Sousa and his band at Albaugh’s Opera House last night, and the last selection on the program—the overture from William Tell—was_practi- cally spoiled by the noise the hurried few made in leaving the ats. I should esti- mate that at least 150 people rose to go at the commencement of the piece, and the noise they made fairly drowned the music in some of the softer passages. I have no doubt there were many others in the house who will agree with me in condemning this particularly annoying habit—one per- son I am sure will do so, and he Is Jonn Philip CHAS. W. SPICER.

C FOR DISTRICT SUFFRAGE The Meeting Last Night Addressed by Mr. Douglass. Preparing a Bill for a Popular Vote on the Question—Talk of Other Speakers. A meeting of residents of this city in- terested in obtaining suffrage in the Dis- trict of Cotumbia was held at Green’s Hall, 1721 Pennsylvania avenue, last night. Dr. Robert Reyburn presided, and although the attendance was small the meeting was an enthusiastic one. A report from the executive committee was read, presenting the form of a petition to be presented to Congress, setting forth the injustice of depriving the citizens of this District of their right to vote, and demanding a change in the present form of government. Accompanying the petition was the draft of a bill to be introduced in Congress, providing for a special election to be held in the District to ascertain whether a majority of the people are in favor of or opposed to a change in the present form of government. Provisions of the Bill. The bill provides that within sixty days after its passage the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby directed to cause a police census to be made of all the male residents in the District who shall have attained the age of twenty-one years, whose names and addresses shall be furnished upon printed lists. A board of revision, whose duties shall be to correct all errors and omissions in the lists, is also provided for, and the bill says: “The members of the board of re- vision shall hold their sessions from { a.m. to 5 p.m. for the term of fifteen days, ex- cluding Sundays, as above mentioned, and for their services in correcting and per- fecting the lists of qualified voters shall receive the compensation of five dollars per day for each day they are in session.” ‘A supplemental Hst shall then be issued by the board of revision, and no person whose name shall not be found on the original printed lists or the supplemental printed lists of voters shall be entitled to vote. ‘The special election shall be held under the direction of the Commissioners not later than vinety days after the passage of the act. The Cemmiss'oners are au- thorized to appoint three judges of elec- tion for each of the twenty-two original legislative districts, who shall provide suitable places for holding the elections. “Said judges of election shall receive a ecmpersation of $5 each for their services on the day of the special election.” Two forms of ballots shall be prepared by the Commissioners. On one shall he printed: “In favor of the present form of government by Commissioners.” On the other: “In favor of a representative form of government.” Cost of the Election. The bill concludes: “In order to carry out the provisions of this bill the sum of $10,000 be * * * and the same is hereby appropriated out of the revenues of the District of-Columbia not otherwise appro- priated.” ‘The bill was accepted by the meeting. and a committee authorized to perfect the draft and present it to Congress. The chairman appointed Messrs. W. H. G. Simmons, Mil- ferd Spohn, Paul T. Bowen, James H. Smith, Geo. O. Cook, J. H. McCuen ard F. H. Siddons, with Dr. Reyburn as chairman €x officio, to revise the draft of the bill. Mr. Dougtass’' Speech. This closed the business portion of the meeting, and speeches were declared to be in order. Mr. Frederick Douglass was the first speaker. He said he was present at the meeting to take sids, and to show that he was not afraid to take sides. Neither the frowns nor the smiles of the present government could deter him from express- ing his partisanship in the cause of liberty. He often asks himself, he said, what have the people of the District done that th should be excluded from the pri iexes of the ballot box. Where, when and how did they incur the penalty of taxation without representation? He found no fault with the men who compose the present local government, but recalled the German pro- verb, that “Those w bless He wants themselves and their fr: all of his to be in_a pos bless friends. For instance, wants public im- provements in front of preverty owned by colored men. “If you don’t know what I mean,” he sald, “just look at I7th street near the boundary.” He said one objection which had been urged against suffrage in the District ts that colored men will have a vote. Well, what if they do? He fs willing to trust the ignorant with the wise, because the wise will predominate. In order to disfranchise one-third of the population, consisting of colored people, the whites have disqualified themselves. The two-thirds are afraid they will be outvoted and governed by the one- third. He said this is cowardly and mean and small. Mr. Douglass spoke of the con- tradictory spectacle presented to the min- isters of foreign nations by the presence of an unrepresentative form of government at the capital of the most progressive re- public on the globe. Other Speakers. Rev. Mr. Lee, a well-known colored preacher, then addressed the audience. He said he wes in favor of the cause for which soldiers shed their blood in the revo- lution. He said the whites had disfran- chised all the people of this District to get rid of the negro. They ought to do better than this, for the south knows how to vote the whites and cheat the negro, and surely there are enough southern men in this Dis- trict to do that. “I want the white men of the District to be free,” said Mr. Lee. He said the District Commissioners are doubt- less good men. God made one good man and put everything into his hands and that man slipped. It is not well to put too much into one man’s hands. Dr. Reyburn then called upon Miiford Spohn of the Knights of Labor to tell the interest which his organization is taking in the movement for suffrage. Mr. Spohn said the labor organizations are in accord with the movement and heartily indorse it. Mr. Simmons ‘also spoke of the interest taken by the labor unions in the work of the suffragists. —————— BOARD OF TRADE. Interesting Topics to Be Considered at the Mceting This Evening. A meeting of the board of trade will be held this evening at Willard Hell. The following topics will be considered: ‘The importance of the development of the system of sewers and sewage disposal in the District of Columbia. The necessity for the extension and de- velopment of the highway system of the District. The treatment of unimproved streets within city limits. Addresses will be made on these subjects by competent speakers. In response to a request from W. H. G. Simmons, master workman of the District Assembly, K. of L., that labor representa- tives be heard before the meeting of the latter organization this evening, when the matter of the proposed loan for street Im- provement and sewer extension comes up for consideration, the secretary of the board replied that as the preparations for the meeting had alrzady been completed the request could not be granted, but he believed it could probably be arranged so the labor representatives would be re- ‘ed by the committee on trades organi- zations at some arranged date. ee A Mine of Information.

Children’s Hospital. The annual meeting of the directors of the Children’s Hospital was held at 1419 G street yesterday afternoon. Reports of the various officers were submitted, showing that the institution is in good condition and entirely free from cases of a contag- fous character. Mr. Edward J. Stellwagen was elected a director in place of Mr. Lewis J. Davis, and Dr. T. R. Stone was elected an incorporator in place of Miss Elizabeth C. Smith. All the other officers hold over. AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—“Captain Paul,” a romantic play in four acts, by Edward E. Rose and A. M. DeLisser, made its first appearance in Washington lust night at Albaugh’s. The location of the incidents is the coast of Brittany, and the time is the close of the eighteenth century. The first two acts and the last one occur in Chateau D'Audray, and the third takes place on Capt. Paul's ship, the Ranger. This third act is the piece de resistance of the play. Mr. A. S. Lipman is the Capt. Paul, and his reputation as an actor is very good. Among: the others in the cast are Mr. DeLisser, Mr. Hanbury, Mr. Fair- banks, Mr. Paton Gibbs, Miss Willard and Miss St. Pierre. The play is highly melo- dramatic, without being at all dramatic, and it appeals entirely to the galleries, and they even laugh sometimes where they should not. Whatever may be said in crit!- cism adversely, the fact remains that the lovers, after a great many trials and tribu- lations, and the shooting of cannon and the explosion of powder magazines, and the butting together of great ships at sea, are happily restored to each other, the vri- vateersman becomes the Marquis D'’Audray and everything is lovely. The New National Theater—The an- ncuncement that William H. Crane intend- ed to produce “The Merry Wives of Wind- sor” required no accompanying assurances that the work would be given with a com- pleteness thoroughly satisfying to the eye, as far as stage setting and the interpreta- THEIR WELCOME GONE Evident Tramps Before Police Oourt Tadges Today. No Longer Wanted by the Charitable —One Man} Waiting for a Cabte Construction. There were §fty-eight prisoners in the Police Court cellssfor trial in both courts this morning, fand Judge Kimball had about fifty of them. Included in the pro- cession were several women and a number of tramps. Most ef the tramps had been in the city for severwl days, and had worn out their welcome at the wood yard, mis- sion and police stations. Remus Carter, a young colored man who has figured in many processions before, and a former friend named John Jenks, were in the lead. Their presence was the result of a row in Jackson alley, in rear of the death-trap known as the government printing office. “I was comin’ through de alley,” said a coloied witness, ‘‘when I met Remus Car- ter with a hatchet in bis hand. I sald to him, ‘Hello, Remus, what yer gwine ter do? and he said to me, ‘Is you saw John ticn cf the principal role were concerned.

This was done with eminent success, of course, in the case of Mr. Crane as Felstaff,whose Peture of the fat and lecherous knight lacked nothing in unction and artistic de- tail. Mr. Joseph Wheelock, jr., in the part of Slendor, revived many pleasant mem9- ries of good work done here in the past. He is a capable, painstaking young actor who in every new effort sustains his record of efficiency. ‘The ladies of the company agreeably ‘listinguished themseives, M1 Peget as Mistress Ford and Miss Coilier as Mistress Page sustaining the comedy with unfiagging spirit. ‘The scenery brought out with delightful vividness pictures of t scenes in the comedy, and the stage direc- tion was smooth and sat tory. ‘Th production presents Mr. ¢ in the light of a scholar, and he sus that role easily and comp! arly achievements ar appreciated by the public.

Saengerbund Concert.—The Washington Saengerbund will give its second concert this season at the Academy of Music next Sunday night. Prof. Wm. Waldecker, the director, has arranged a program that is especially attractive. He will have the as- sistance of a full orchestra and of the fol- lowing soloists: Mr. Max Kaestl, viclinist, from Baltimore; Miss Margaret Eichhorn, Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry and Mr. J. J Fischer. Mr. Kaestl will play De Beriot' seventh concerto and Hunser’s Hungarian rhapsodie; Miss Eichhorn will sing an aria from Saint Saens’ “Samson and Delilah, and, with Mrs. Berry, Rossini’s “Lake- gata;” Mrs. Berry will sing Arditi’s song, “Geduld;” the bund will sing “Weihe des Liedes,”” Miss Eichhorn sustaining the solo, die Erde Braucht Regen,” “Ossian” and Germanenzerg;” Mrs. Berry and Mr. Fischer singing the solos, and the orchestra will play the overture to “Oberon,” selec- tions from the opera of “I. Pagliacci, Dvorak’s two Slavonic dances, and will ai company the bund in some of its numbers. SoS A Monthly Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Continental Daughters of the American Revolutioa was held last evening.

Carpenter ought to be congrat- ulated upon his reception at Metzerott's last evening. A large and fashionable au- dience was present and he held them close to him from the beginning to the end of his lecture. Among the well-known people in the house were representatives of all the legations, the Chinese, Japanese and the Coreans being especially conspicu- ous. The teachers of the public schools were out in force, and all of the govern- ment departments were well represented. The lecture was a running talk about the Japanese of today, describing with story and anecdote every phase of life in the Land of the Rising Sun, illustrated by some of the finest stereopticon views ever shown in Washington. The capital, Tokio, was described, and the parliament, the police and the prisons were visited. Fully a score of the prettiest of Japanese maidens ap- peared on the screen, while the lecturer gave laughable and interesting data about Yum Yum versus her American sister. Carpenter says the Japanese girls do not kiss, but that they are sweet and refined, and they form a big working half of the Japanese nation. He gave some interest- ing information about Count Ito, the pre- mier of Japan, and the great war with China. One of the most attractive parts of the lecture was that which referred to floral Japan, in which his beautiful pictures of the chysanthemum show of the mikado, and of the cherry blossom season added to his really poetic descriptions, made the audience applaud again and again. The talk was full of good things, and many times during the evening he had his hearers on the broad grin. It was at the same time full of news, information, and gave a clear view of the eastern situation. Among other pictures of local interest he gave one of a Washington party in their jinrikshas. As well-known people beamed from the screen the audience broke into lovd applause. After the lecture each of the audience was presented with a pretty little souvenir, in the shape of Mr. Carpenter's Chinese visiting card. The color of this was red, wh'ch denotes good luck in China. To- night the Japanese lecture will be re- peated.
